I couldn't think of a better time to write this then now. Just like many of you, I like to drink and eat sweets, but sometimes overdo! With the Holidays Approaching, and I'm sure a Hell of a Sweet Halloween Hangover, what better time then now to join my Pre-Holiday Renewal Cleanse!

But First, did you know that: food plays an important role in how much you get sick or stay well? Because of this, it also plays a role in the direction of your life, and eating the right stuff can be medicine for your body, mind and soul! I know, because when I was eating unhealthy, I had to take antibiotics whenever I got sick, and inhalers and steroids from having asthma! But once I changed my diet to one of whole foods back in my 30's, I can truthfully say I haven't had an asthma attack or taken any medication for 15-20 years, and it's been about 10 years since I've taken an antibiotic! I have to admit that a period of abstinence from alcohol to one of moderate drinking has also helped. In those years when I drank more heavily, I was also sick more often.

Changing my diet has also changed the way my life has played out in other ways too! It brought me into the health and healing world, where I have been able to help so many people, opened my eyes to new possibilities, interests and personal growth, and helped me believe that I can work for myself. This would not have happened had I never questioned the tiny little box that I grew up in! I've learned a lot in that little box, but I wanted to move beyond it too! Every day, I am so grateful to be on this path! That's why I'm so passionate to share what I've learned with you! By doing a Whole Foods Cleanse, you too can learn how to eat for health and start to move away from sickness.

CHANGE THIS...

TO GET THIS!

I don't know about you, but I have noticed a direct correlation to Loving myself when I take good care of my body, to Hating myself when I don't! That's why I believe in moderation, so when I overdo I go on a Whole Foods Cleanse to reset my Body, Mind & Spirit and Get Back to Loving Myself!

Understanding The Energetics of Food to Help You: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) focuses on using food to prevent and treat disease. Instead of describing foods by how much protein, fat, or calories they contain, TCM focuses instead on the quality of food and how to use it in your life.What this means is that foods have a distinct energy and characteristic properties, that can balance and nourish our bodies, making us healthy, or that create imbalances resulting in sickness. They also carry a vibration. Having knowledge of food energetics can help you build a stronger sense of health and wellbeing. Food and Vibration: Everything in the universe is energy and energy vibrates; there are no exceptions. This includes the food we eat! And the higher the vibration of food we eat, the more health there will be. So it's important to eat high vibrational food! Meaning food that is alive and that comes from nature! Let me explain...

Be conscious of the foods you eat.Some foods vibrate at higher frequencies, and some lower (broccoli has a high vibration as do blueberries; Big Macs don't vibrate at all). The reason for this is that broccoli and blueberries come directly from nature, have very little processing, and especially if organic will carry a higher vibration. However, Big Macs even with their lettuce, tomatoes and meat which comes from nature, have gone through so much processing that there will be no or very little vibrational frequency in the food, leading to poor health. These animals are also given antibiotics & hormones, along with an unnatural diet of GMO foods. They live a short and painful life of Factory Farming. All of these processes lower their vibration, and so will also lower our health as we continuously eat them. As for the lettuce and tomatoes by the time they get to your plate, there will be little if any nutrients at all, as they are sprayed with chemicals and pesticides, and who knows what country they may be coming from!

So... If you are consuming processed foods covered in chemicals and pesticides, or foods found within plastic packaging, it will leave you vibrating lower. You want to consume good quality organic produce, good quality grass fed, organic and farm raised animals, and food as nature intended it.

OTHER FUN FACTS FOR YOU TO INTEGRATE ON THE ENERGETICS OF FOOD In order to maintain health and promote optimal healing:Eat Seasonally– This means eat the FOODS, the fruits, vegetables & herbs that grow during that season. This is nature’s way of saying we need these foods during this time.

For example: During the Summertime, you want to eat more cooling fruits and lighter greens as this is when they are at their peak in harvest. These foods are also cooling to the body.

During the Wintertime, heartier vegetables, such as deeply rooted carrots, squashes and pumpkins grow more abundantly and add warmth to the body.

Eat Locally - Eating from your own garden or buying produce from your local farmers’ market will leave you feeling more connected. The best is from your own garden. Farmer’s markets are more sustainable. Because we are connected to nature, we are meant to eat the foods that are grown locally. Also the closer the food is to your home, the less time it has to be packed, processed and delivered where it loses it’s nutritional value.

Cook and Eat Mindfully – Home cooked foods are always best as you know how it’s prepared. You have more control of what you put in it. Slowing the pace of our meals and eating in a relaxed setting is mindful eating, which also allows us to absorb more of the nutrients from our food as we take our time to chew.Most importantly, pay attention to how this way of eating makes your body feel.
